96 honda civic -- how do you remove the radio????

Received a new radio for Christmas and would like to install it myself

 

Nice gift! When my family gives me stuff, I usually gets socks

On a 95 integra (probably similar to a 96 civic) you have to take the
center console out. This is not a big deal, loosening a couple of
screws on the side panels and lifting the whole thing over the stick.
This gives you access to the bottom of the factory radio. There are a
couple of screws near the rear of the stereo you have to loosen. It
then slides out of the front.

Unless you really like jumbling and cutting wires, you may want to look
into getting a cable for your civic (cruchfield.com sells them). It
will let you hook the new stereo on the kitchen table to this connector
and slide it in when you have access.
(I did my Altima in literally 10 minutes this way).

Best Buy also had this adapter. I can't believe I did all my other car
stereos the hard way. It was well worth the $15 for the plug.

 

Tha'ts good to know - thanks!

 

You'll need Adobe Reader for this.

Thanks, Misfit -- good link!

Hey John

It might be worthwhile to add misfit's link to your page. While
technically not a repair, I am sure people have had this as a question.
